GATE

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an all-India
examination administered and conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology on behalf of the
National Coordinating Board - GATE, Department of Education, Ministry of
Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India. The GATE
committee, which comprises of representatives from the administering
institutes, is the sole authority for regulating the examination and
declaring the results. These technical institutes take turns to conduct the examination each
year. The GATE examination for the year 2013 is conducted by IIT,
Bombay. The variation in rules for the examination is finalized by the
conducting institute. There are changes every year in this regard which
is good as for one, it prevents the system being redundant and second,
it caters to a broad spectrum of candidates. The aim of any alteration
introduced in comparison to the previous years is that it suits the
changing dynamic environment and favors more people.

Students can browse to any IIT site and they will get all the required info regarding the exam. Mainly the exam is the kind of entrance exam for getting admitted into various postgraduate courses like M Tech,M.S. M.Des, PhD in IITs and IISc Bangalore though most of the other prestigious colleges including NITs and IIITs make use of GATE in anyway to enroll students in their various programmes .

Financial Assistance

A valid GATE score is essential for obtaining a financial assistance
during Masters programmes and in some cases during direct Doctoral
programmes in Engineering/Technology/Architechture, and Doctoral
programs in relevant branches of Science in an Institution supported by
the MHRD or other Government organizations. To avail the financial
assistance (scholarship), the candidate must first secure admission to a
programme in these Institutes, by a procedure that could be different
for each institute. Qualification in GATE is also a minimum requirement
to apply for various fellowships awarded by many Government
organizations.However, candidates with a Master’s degree in
Engineering/Technology/Architecture may seek admission to relevant
Doctoral programmes with scholarship/assistantship without appearing in
the GATE examination.
